KetherEpisode 3 Location: Inside the Library Angela (Library Director) Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Angela_1" Binah (Patron Librarian - Philosophy) Go ahead, dear, say something. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Binah_1" Hokma (Patron Librarian - Religion) You’re pointlessly wasting my time. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Hokma_1-01" Roland (Servant) Alright, let’s all loosen up and start talking, yeah? Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Roland_1" Angela (Library Director) Okay. It has been such a long time since I last talked to you two… Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Angela_2" Binah (Patron Librarian - Philosophy) You are afraid of us, are you not? You would avoid us as much as possible, given any opportunity. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Binah_2" Angela (Library Director) I’ll agree that I’m not exactly comfortable with talking to you face to face. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Angela_3" Angela (Library Director) Still, Hokma and Binah… You have awoken at last. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Angela_4" Angela (Library Director) It can only mean that the Library is nearing completion. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Angela_5" Hokma (Patron Librarian - Religion) And that you are closer to achieving your aim than ever before. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Hokma_2" Angela (Library Director) Indeed. The one book, my goal that I desperately wish to have… Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Angela_6" Angela (Library Director) I firmly believe that I will obtain it at the end of this. That’s what motivated me to come so far. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Angela_7-01" Binah (Patron Librarian - Philosophy) Had your nightmarish past not haunted you… Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Binah_3-01" Binah (Patron Librarian - Philosophy) You could have relished the stability of immortality and unending happiness, even if that meant you had to stay within this shell for eternity. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Binah_4-01" Binah (Patron Librarian - Philosophy) Yet you… are still shackled to the past. You seek to break out of the shell for that reason. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Binah_5-01" Binah (Patron Librarian - Philosophy) Are you not afraid of exposing your bare self to the outside world? Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Binah_6" Binah (Patron Librarian - Philosophy) Once you leave the solid shell that is keeping you safe, a path laden with thorns will await you. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Binah_7-01" Binah (Patron Librarian - Philosophy) Your body will be covered with scars, and you will continue to suffer new injuries before your old wounds can seal up. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Binah_8-01" Binah (Patron Librarian - Philosophy) When you are finally overcome with the urge to crawl back into that shell, you will find that the place in which to rest your bloodstained body will have weathered away in the waves of time. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Binah_9-01" Binah (Patron Librarian - Philosophy) And yet you wish to leave this place. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Binah_10" Angela (Library Director) I may get hurt or even go mad and harm myself, but anything should be better than that hell I’d lived through. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Angela_8" Hokma (Patron Librarian - Religion) It will simply torture you in new ways. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Hokma_3-01" Hokma (Patron Librarian - Religion) The fear will be ever-present before you all the same. And it will chase you until the end of the world. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Hokma_4" Hokma (Patron Librarian - Religion) You must be aware yourself; perhaps your sight has been obscured by the painful past, or you’re desperately turning a blind eye to it. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Hokma_5-01" Angela (Library Director) I have to do it nonetheless. I will do what I can to gain vitality and press forward. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Angela_9" Angela (Library Director) I’m slowly learning to forget my past. Although that won’t change this goal of mine. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Angela_10" Binah (Patron Librarian - Philosophy) If that is what you say. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Binah_11-01" Binah (Patron Librarian - Philosophy) Say, dear. Will we have more occasions to face each other and converse like we have now in the future? Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Binah_12" Angela (Library Director) I don’t know. I personally wouldn’t mind it. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Angela_11" Angela (Library Director) I’d like to hear your thoughts on it. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Angela_12" Hokma (Patron Librarian - Religion) Are you asking for our opinions? That’s rather unexpected. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Hokma_6" Angela (Library Director) Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Angela_13" Angela (Library Director) Forget it. That’s enough greeting. It was nice seeing you. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Angela_14" Binah (Patron Librarian - Philosophy) And she exits. That was quite harsh of you, was it not? Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Binah_13-01" Hokma (Patron Librarian - Religion) I was merely expressing my surprise. I meant no malice. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Hokma_7-04" Roland (Servant) I’m next to her all the time, but her attitude’s surprising for sure. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Roland_2" Roland (Servant) She seems to have gotten pretty mild these days. She’s willing to listen to what I have to say, at the very least. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Roland_3-01" Roland (Servant) She used to refuse conversations and just straight-up announce things when I first met her… Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Roland_4-01" Hokma (Patron Librarian - Religion) Angela appears to be changing indeed, for better or for worse. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Hokma_8-01" Binah (Patron Librarian - Philosophy) Would you not agree that it is a positive change? I look forward to having more meetings such as this. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Binah_14" Hokma (Patron Librarian - Religion) The opinions of the other Patron Librarians will hold much weight in the decision, as Angela remarked. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Hokma_9-01" Roland (Servant) Welp, don’t worry too much about the lower and middle floors. Their moods seemed pretty alright. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Roland_5-01" Roland (Servant) Still, thinking about everyone gathering in one place… It’s honestly hard to imagine how that would go. Audio: "ch8_Keter_ep3_Roland_6-01"
